    Default More Variety for Screens

    I'm wondering if anyone would be willing to add some more screens or at least adjust the current ones.

    I'm talking about the regular wire screens that display values. Some suggested screen changes additions would be nice:

    - Different Screen sizes

    Some screens that are half size. Maybe quarter sized to display a single value.
    A screen that is twice as tall as it is wide to display values vertically.
    A really wide screen that is short that can display values horizontally.

    - Display more values

    Let the screens be able to display 4 values at a time as opposed to two. (I realize that may cause problems with the labels, but I think we'll manage)
    A mega screen that can display 8 values

    Well, anyways, some variety would be nice we've had the same ol screens for a while and it would be nice to revamp them

    I would really like the single-value screen.

    Small wire screen :|
    But yeah, I thought about more than 1/2 values too.

    GPU will bring some new screen models with it, and I'm up for more requests.
    Right now these are new screens:
    Billboard from CSS, it's huge, and has 16:10 ratio
    LED screen:

    Comes in 1x1, 2x2, and possibly 4x4 sizes (compatible with tile pack models, by size)
    Computer monitor from HL2
    4:3 ratio plasma screen, a bit larger than 16:10 plasma screen.

    About more values - don't know. Possibly.

    Well, it'd have to be dividable by two. Otherwise it'd look weird. Like 1,2,4,6. 8 might be a little much :|

    True, I'd definitely like those 1/4 or 1/2 sized single value displays or even just a 1/2 sized 2 value display.

    We've just had the current ones so long and I usually find them to be too big for most of my projects... (I'm on a "micro" kick so I like small and compact)
